Differential fees attacked
B of G report
calls for changes
by Tom Barrett
The abolition of differential fees for foreign students is one
of the recommendations included in the U of A Board of
Governors’ recent submission to the Grantham task force.
The task force was created
y the provincial government
d assigned the job of reviewing
udents’ contributions to the
bsts of post-secondary educa-
on.
The U of A brief consists of
summary of the current facts
students’ contributions, a
atement of basic premises and
inciples, and a list of specific
commendations:
On the subject of foreign
udents the report stated that
iraditionally, the University of
Iberta has welcomed students
om around the world, as well as
om across Canada, and
unted these out-of-province
dents as a source of enrich-
ent in the education of Alber-
i aM
The Board concluded its
mments on this subject by
lling for an end to differential
8.
One of the subjects
phasized in the — section
belled ‘facts’ is the accessibility
Post-secondary education.
¢ B of G report suggests that a
ich smaller percentage of
versity students come from
milies with low income than
9m high income or
ofessional families.
Ihe report goes on to say:
Ithough Alberta fees are now
small portion of the student’s
al costs, they still may repre-
ta significant economic and
chological barrier.”
In the section on premises
Principles, the brief includes
e statement:
“We believe that insofar as
sible both government and
versity policies should strive
Minimize the effects of,
dents’ socio-economic
tkgrounds on their access to
university admission and on
their choice of program.
The B of G_ report
recommends two modifications
in the remission program for
student loans which may help
accomplish this goal. According
to the Board, (a) the remission
rate should be increased; and (b)
remission should be on an
annual basis rather than at the
end of the program, so as to
reduce the pressure of visibly
mounting debts as_ students
continue their programs.
It has often been suggested
that students from low income
families are more intimidated
that others by the accumulation
of debts.
The final recommendation
listed in the brief called on “the
Minister and governing Boards
of post-secondary institutions
(to) develop formal means of
annual consultation on_ the
whole subject of fee schedules as
they relate to government fun-
ding, to student costs, and to
institutional revenues.
Enrolment
Total full-time enrolment at
the University of Alberta has
declined 3.7% from last year,
according to the
statistics released by the Office of
the Registrar.this week.
There were 19,157 full-time
students registered at the U of A
as of October 15, compared to
19,896 the same time last year.
The official enrolment figure for
1977-78 was 19491. Final figures
for this year will be released in

Hohol “housecleaning”
New appeal board for SFB
by Adam Singer
The Students Finance
Board (SFB) will soon have a
new mechanism to hear appeals
from dissatisfied students.
Advanced Education
Minister Bert Hohol introduced
a bill last week which would
create a 12-member appeal
board to handle protests against
decisions by the SFB.
The board would. be com-
posed of members of the public
appointed by the minister, and
would replace an appeal sub-
committee of the SFB presently
in existence,

down 3.7%
The faculty of education
suffered the biggest loss, with a
12.5% decline in enrolment, or
519 students less than last year.
The faculties of agriculture and
forestry, business administration
and physical education dropped
12.6%, 9.9% and 8.9% respec-
tively. Arts increased 3.9% and
the other faculties remained
relatively unchanged.
This is the second con-
secutive year enrolment has
declined at the U of A. Enrol-
ment peaked in 1976-77 with
20,019 registered students.
According to Greg
Michaud, a U of A student and
member of the SFB, the old
appeal subcommittee was in-
tended to be autonomous from
the SFB itself. However, because
members of the subcommittee
were chosen by the SFB, some
students complained that they
were in effect forced to make
their appeal to the same people
who originally rejected them.
-In addition, an investigation
by Hohol’s office indicated that
committee appointments, which
include an honorarium, were
often made on a personal basis.

Alumni of the classes of
1973, 1968, 1958, 1953, 1938, and

notable members of the golden
class coming back are Mr.
Justice Ronald Martland of the
Supreme Court of Canada, and
Dr. Max Wershof, formerly of
the federal department of exter-

editor of the Gateway in 1928.
Activities will begin with a

this proportion was poorly
adhered to, and_ student

Furthermore, the more con-

Michaud reports.
Despite . these problems,
Michaud says the old appeal

Council supports Parkland strikers
by Wayne Kondro
At its Tuesday _ night
meeting, Students’ Council mov-
ed support of striking Parkland
Nursing Home workers and
directed the executive to
publicize at their discretion
information on the October 28th
demonstration to be held for the
strikers,
In a representation to coun-
cil, Bill Petrie (national CUPE
representative to Local 41),
outlined the strikers grievances
and aims. Petrie stated that all
the workers wanted was wage
parity with Parkland workers in
Calgary, Fort McLeod, and
Lethbridge. He stated that the
main reasons the strike has
continued for so long (nearly two
years) were discriminatory court
rulings (restrictive injunctions on
number — 6 — and location —
across the street — of strikers)
and management’s determina-
tion to include a “blacklist” of
employees in a contract. ’
Petrie cited the failure of the
Department of Labour to cause
an inquiry into the dispute as an
indication of provincial govern-
ment bias and irresponsibility.

tion from Ed Metatawabin,

A lecture on the role of
women in Canadian Society,
conducted by Dr. Margrit
Eichler, will be held next
Wednesday, October 25. It is the
second presentation in the Cana-
dian Studies Lecture Series.
The lecture, jointly spon-
sored by the Canadian Studies
Committee and the Academic
Women’s Association of Alber-
ta, begins at 8:00 p.m. in Room
2-115 (media) of the Education
Building, North Wing.
Dr. Eichler plans to discuss
the relationship of the Canadian
context to women asa group and
researchers as a subgroup, and
the state of the current
methodology for the study of
women in Canadian society.
Also included in her list of topics,
is a talk on some material ways to
apply research on women in
community work, in teaching at
all levels, and other related items.
Dr. Eichler is a professor of
Sociology at the Ontario In-
stitute for Studies in Education.
She is editor of the journal
Resources for Feminist
Research, and has published
many articles.
At Session V1 of the Con-
ference on Women in Eastern
Europe and the Soviet Union,
Dr. Eichler will present a paper
on “Sex Role Attitudes and

Students’ Council will sub-
mit a request to VP Finance and
Administration L.C. Leitch to
release additional funds to the
University Athletic Board to
allow the Phys Ed Building and
the swimming pool to reinstate
the hours maintained prior to
cutbacks. The move would have
the complex open until ten on
weekends and the pool open an
additional hour and a half on
weekdays and an_ additional
three hours in the evening on
weekends.
President Cheryl Hume and
VP Finance Dave Fisher stressed
the fact that students contributed
direclty to the maintenance of
the facilities and therefore
deserved maximum use of the
services. Hume added that the
cutbacks in these areas indicated
that university policy was to
make cutbacks first in student
oriented services such as Univer-
sity Health Service, the Library
and the Phys. Ed. complex.
Hume stated that it would be
worth discovering whether
grants to the Faculty Club had
been cut.
women’s organization
By way of a Cheryl Hume
motion, Students’ Council will
establish a committee to develop
a women’s organization on

deal with problems that female

Wershof comes home
Former editor
returns and reflects
Story and Photo
by Richard Desjardins
Times have changed at the
University of Alberta’ and
perhaps no one can reflect on the
transformation better than Dr.
Max Wershof, currently in Ed-
monton for the Alumni Home
Coming Weekend, 1978.
Starting off as a Gateway
news reporter, at the age of 15, in
1924, Dr. Wershof worked his
way up to the position of Editor
during the 1927-1928 session.
After graduating in Arts in 1928,
Dr. Wershof entered the Faculty
of Law and obtained his Law
Degree in 1930.
During a long and dis-
tinguished career which began in
1937 with the Canadian
Diplomatic Services as an Of-
ficer in the Department of
External Affairs, Dr. Wershof
has been an Ambassador to the
European Office of the United
Nations in Geneva, as well as
Ambassador to Czechoslovakia
and Hungary.
Dr. Wershof’s affection for
his alma mater is evident in an
editorial he wrote, dated October
7th, 1927. “The glorious August
evening ts insurpassable. When
you're feeling lonesome and
blue, just pack up a loaf of bread,
a jug of wine and a copy of the
Rubaiyat and follow the birds to

Haley and Fuller agree
explorers described most of the .
world’s people as “heathens and
savages”. Haley said the ex-
ployers treated their task as a
holy mission which ultimately
escalated from missionary work
to conquest. “Conversion con-
notes that your way is wrong and
mine is right” he added.
Fuller, who described
himself as “a student of the total
planet earth”, spoke about. the
question of development and the
distribution of wealth. He said
that he decided 51 years ago to
give up the selfishness most
people and organizations prac-
tice. to devote himself to all
humanity.
On the subject of improving
the world, Fuller said) “my
experience shows that only the
impossible happens.”
‘uller: beyond selfishness
have to rationalize selfishness.”
Fuller’s optimism for
mankind is based on his con-
fidence in his theory of synergy.
“Human beings...have from time
to time the ability to discover
interrelationships between parts
of the system that could not be
predicted by looking at
the.,.component parts.” ~
It is this unique ability to
discover generalized principles in
nature which will enable man to
capitalize upon his present
resources and control his en-
vironment, Fuller said. -
Fuller, speaking in the
“Physical World” portion of the
symposium, also exhorted his
audience to rely upon their own
experimental evidence rather
than accepting the evidence of
others. He used examples from
his own life to illustrate the
importance of independent
thinking.
“The reason | am_ well-
known today,” he said, “is that I
had no competition...everyone
else was earning a living.” The 83
year old Fuller left a steady job as
a builder in 1927 and went onto
become an architect, engineer,
inventor, and social philosopher.
He is best known for the creation
of the geodesic dome. (the
American Pavilion at Expo’67 in
Montreal).
o
Dr. Max Wershof reflects on the past 50 years, since his graduation from
the U of A and the Gateway.
Gateway that it was “saddening
to see the beauty of the original
campus destroyed. In 1909, Dr.
Tory had the vision that an
enormous tract of land should be
set asided for the university on
the south side. He feels that a
wrong decision was made in
selling the land where Windsor
Park is today and that using this
space could have prevented the
“vast variety of shapes and sizes
in such close proximity on
today’s campus”.
During his tenure as editor,
the Gateway hada circulation of
about 1,500 copies, the average
issue being four to six pages to
eight if there was enough adver-
tising. At that time the Gateway
office was located in a_ small
room in the Arts Building and
the paper was printed by the
university press.
Old Gateway issues bear out
the fact that university life has
not altered that much during the
past fifty years. In an editorial
entitled, “Cheap Stuff’, dated
March 1, 1928, Dr. Wershof
blasted gate crashers at a univer-
sity dance and remarked that “it
would be awkward to be com-
pelled to carry a passport to a
dance to prove one had the right
to be there”. “Vandalism wasn’t
considered a problem”, reflected
Dr. Wershof. “The university
was so small, everyone knew
everyone else”.
Student apathy, certainly
no stranger to this campus, was
the subject of a front page
editorial on January 12, 1928,
entitled, “Is Student Govern-
ment a Joke?”, in which Dr.
Wershof urged students to give a
quorum to the Student Govern-
ment so that “union business
could be carried out”.
Dr. Tory, the President of
the University at the time, took a
dislike to the direction the
Gateway was taking. A firey
Cassette deck
Patrons of Roomatthe Top
(RATT) in SUB will no longer be
forced to listen to CKSR radio
programming while trying to
relax in the bar. A new stereo
cassette deck is being acquired as
the first step in a program to
update the whole music system in
RATT.
“The order has gone out,
and we can expect the deck
within a month,” Arlene Smith,
Director of RATT and Fridays,
told the Gateway. Plans for
improvement have been in the
workd since the April budget
proposals, and the cassette deck
is the first pay-off.
The music system at RATT
has been a problem since their
editorial retorted that “The
Gateway is not an organ of the
university, it is the organ of the
students of the university, which
is something vastly different”.
Perhaps the sharply honed
wit of Dr. Wershof was best
displayed in his dismay regar-
ding the practice of female
students signing out each time
they left their Pembina Hall
residence. “Is it not obvious that
this humiliating rule cannot be a
deterrent to any girl who wishes
to wander?” Reflecting back, Dr.
Wershof stated that at the time,
“all universities were entrusted
with the educational and moral
development of young people”.
“If anyone said this today”, he
added, “they’d be considered
unrealistic”.
Dr. Wershof reminisced
that the 1930’s were “a terrible
time for university graduates in
Alberta, more so than anywhere
else”. He is emphatic in stating
university students at the time
“were not a privileged social
class. It was a difficulty paying
board and room. Students felt
they were damn lucky to be
there!”
Turning to today’s issues,
Dr. Wershof empasized, “We
didn’t think in terms of Canadian
unity. We took it for granted”.
Having recently turned 69,
Dr. Wershof is still active,
working on short term projects
dealing with international law
for the federal government. Ever
the diplomat, he pointed out to
the Gateway that a more promi-
nent graduate, Mr. Justice
Ronald Martland, of the
Supreme Court of Canada, from
the class of 1928, would also be
present at the Alumni Home

Friday, October 19, 1978. Page 3.
This is homecoming weekend, and it raises the old
question: What does it mean to be an alumnus of the
University of Alberta?
The U of A has become a huge institution in every
way, in population, physical size, number of disciplines
and amount of money it handles. It is truly a “city within a
city.” Not surprisingly, there is little of the camaraderie
and sense of community to be found in schools of less
mammoth proportions, or as must have existed at the U
of A itself many years ago.
Five, fifteen or fifty years from now, alumni looking
back on their years spent here will likely recall themselves
not so much as U of A students as residents of a particular
floor in Lister Hall, members of a particular fraternity or
club, or as participants in varsity sports or other activities.
Once, just being a graduate meant something, both
in terms of prestige and earning power. Nowadays it is
almost considered unique not.to have a degree, and as for
jobs, most of us know only too well how bad the situation
Is.
Lastly, it has been said that only those who have
“made it” attend class reunions. If this is true, then alumni
get-togethers may be a false and empty act.
But Homecoming Weekend establishes a link with
the past, helps foster a sense of tradition, and helps
preserve continuity through the profound changes the U
of A has seen in its 70 years of existence.
It gives those who preceede us an opportunity to
return as honored guests and reminisce on the “old days,”
although for some the recollection may be clouded by the
years.
And it encoucourages us, the future alumni, to ask
what, if anything, will encourage us to return to the U of A
years from now.
Homecoming Is especially significant for Gateway this
year. Coincidentally two former editors, representatives of
vastly different eras on campus, have returned this week.
We warmly welcome back Dr. Max Wershof who was
editor of the Gateway in 1927-28. Dr. Wershof’s successful
career was foreshadowed both by his long and impressive
record as a student at the U of A and by his association and
editorship of this newspaper.
Kevin Gillese, editor of the 1976-77 Gateway, is
similarly welcomed. After thirteen months of travel abroad
(about that Holy Grail, Kevin...) he has returned to pursue
what we assume will be an equally successful career. After
all, we think he’s made a good start.
More importantly for us, the return of these men, and
the knowledge that many former staffers have been
reintegrated into society, has confirmed ‘that there is life
after Gateway.

Savard stifled by letter limi
For two issues, every single
letter in the Gateway was over
the 250-word limit. In the second
such issue, you announced that
you would start “getting tough”.
In the third issue, my 177-
word letter was the only one
under that limit. Maybe with this
issue you will be tough.
But it isn’t very often a
political topic lends itself well to
discussion within 250 words.
The Gateway should seek to
broaden student participation,
not to stifle it; to deepen the level
of thought in comments, not
restrict them to superficial
generalities,
Of course, it’s obvious why
this limit has been imposed.
Along with the other aspects of
its ‘new look’, this is intended to
make the Gateway more like a
‘real newspaper’.
Improving the quality of its
reporting, extending the base of
its coverage, and generally bring-
ing more professionalism to

“Supposedly”
\Your editor’s note at the end
of Milfred Campbell’s review of
“Moby Dick Rehearsed” seemed
misdirected. Instead of trying to
soften the reviewer's scathing
and simplistic view of graduate
students, it would have been
more appropriate to explain, if
possible, why you printed a
review that said almost nothing
about the play. Other than
saying that the actors had open-
ing night jitters, and that he was
swept away, your reviewer said
nothing about the production
except that “what Ahab is
after...(is) inside Ahab.”
This statement is nebulous
and only half true. Using the
white whale as a symboi, Ahab is -
assailing both the evil inherent in
himself and the evil that must be
in a god who, supposedly all-
good and all-powerful, creates
evil. Thus, as the impervious
bear: all these are laudable goals.
But there are some differences
between a student newspaper
and a ‘real’ newspaper that are
valuable and delightful, and
which should not be discarded in
a vain attempt to become a
carbon copy of the major dailies.
John Savard
Grad Studies
Dear John:
The 250 word limit is nota
barrier that cannot be crossed
but a goal to strive for. Ifa letter
goes somewhat beyond the limit,
its purpose is still achieved: to
improve the quality of the
editorial page.
Look back at the 500 to 750
word letters run last year.
Honestly, how many of them
couldn't have been full and better
expressed in less than 250 words?
Criticism distorted [
I] was surprised to see Mr.
Miller’s emotional reply to my
letters of September 29th and
October 12th. I should think a
critical analysis of my. letters’
content would have been more
constructive than his presump-
tuous criticism of my character.
Regardless of what he

grad student said, tor Orson
Welles to change Melville’s
original ending and have Ahab
kill Moby Dick is bloody-well
absurd! Sad to say, there is more
truth to be found in the com-
ments of the dense grad student
and his dumb companion than in
the comments of your reviewer.
The grad student's attempt to
distinguish between the technical
aspects (“did I think it was well
done’?”) and his “subjective”
response is exactly what your
reviewer should have done.
Randy Meartz’s directing was
impressive, the actors’ stage
movements were superb, and
Brendam Barry’s oratory was in
the best Shakespearean tragedy
ttadition, but the result was
tedium; there’s only so much that
you can do with a poorly-written
play. “Moby Dick Rehearsed”
sounds as if Orson Welles wrote
Gidora suards private
In theOctober [2 issue of the
Gateway, Mike Gidora, general
secretary of the Young Com-
munist League was interviewed.
He commented on several issues
we (RWL,) and the YCL differ
on, such as the question of
democratic rights in the Soviet
Union. Also discussed in the
interview was Quebec, and it is
this issue that we would like to
address.
We too believe that Quebec
is a nation with the right to self-
determination. However, we
disagree’ with Gidora — that
separation. and independenc,
would be in the worst interests o1
Canada and Quebec. Rather, it
would be in the worst interests of
government and big business.
Quchec is an important
source of raw materials,
manutactured goods, and cheap
labor — all important assets for
Canadian capital. Quebec’s in-
dependence threatens these
assets presently guarded for
private industry by confedera-
tion.
Gidora states that American
big business threatens Canada
and Quebec. But business in-
terests are basically the same,
and Canadian and American
industrialists collaborate to
maximize profits and prevent
political unrest among workers.
By calling for a rewritten
constitution, Gidora seeks only
to reform confederation, a major
weapon used against Quebecois
workers. By implication, he is
guarding the interests of private
industry.

students at large shortchanged
The government of the
tudents’ Union has often-been
riticized as being too far remov-
id from the average student to
dequately serve his/her needs.
sually, this is a result of the fact
at only a small group. of
udents are able to take part in
yicy-making. To some extent,
is is inevitable.
On Tuesday evening,
tudents’ Council had an oppor-
nity to correct this problem, at
ast to a small extent, by
lowing broader representation
mn three policy-advising boards
Pthe Students’ Union. A
otion to reduce the number of
csitions on the boards
to members of
Students’ Council and to in-
crease the number of positions
open to all students was amend-
ed so that Council members are
still given preferential treatment
in the selection of board
members. The position taken
was that Council members will
still have first option of taking
half of the positions on each of
the Academic Affairs, Building
Services, and External Affairs
Boards.
This year, council had some
difficulty in convincing enough
of its members to sit on each of
these boards. At the same time,
there was keen competition for
the ‘student-at-large’ positions
‘on two of the three. Despite the

expensive facilities which are in

often completely idle while peo-

By excluding us from this

J.W. Kidney, decrying the

of Oct. 12), displays a lot of gall
but quite obviously a narrow

Appendix
by Sam Hall (deceased)
You can’t keep a good man down, but we slimy ones
have a way of coming back as well. Yes Sam Hall is back
and I’m sure none of you care.
Back yes, but I’ve paid dearly for my insolence.
Someone in students government took the most cruel
revenge against me and the Gateway. They moved the ski
club into the office next door.
1 could put up with the ski club when they were just
the drunks down the hall. Now they’re right beside us with
their line-ups every noon hour, their huge poster boards,
and their obnoxious noise. Now we are patient people;
god knows how many years we’ve put up with CKSR.
But this is too much. The News Editor is reduced to”
shouting “THINK SNOW!” every five minutes. The
Managing Editor keeps tripping over the empty beer
bottles. The reporting staff have all signed up to “SKI
ALASKA” and we'll never see them again. And no one
can push through the crowd and get out of the office
between noon and one.
These people are SKIIERS, people who fall down
mountains for a hobby. People like that are liable to do
anything. If they had seen that that meat piled up in our
office last year, they might have sprinkled flour over it
and made a practice run.
Actually most of these people are probably scared of
heights, but that is okay since they never go up hills any
way. The only important part of a ski resort is the lounge
and maybe the jacuzzi. |
Which brings up why | really hate these people;
they’re all cool. I’m short and scroungy. I don’t like people
who are young and well dressed and healthy and good
looking and all that. The sight of just Ken Kushner and
Barbie Eastlick ruins my whole day. A whole club of
people like that is too much.
Mind you there are some benefits. They’ve said ski so
many times the Ukrainian Students Assoc. though they
were a group of Polish students and moved out. Also,
when they were rearranging the offices, they moved the
Housing Registry around the corner and out of sight.
Thanks for small mercies.
Still, the Gateway is not going to be able to stand the
ski club much longer. I’ve heard plans to trade all our
secret information to the Russians in exchange for a
snowless winter. The commie hordes may overrun us but
at least they won’t make us ski.
The rumor mill
by Hewlitt Packard
Well, | found out about Maureen and Tommy. Don’t worry
folks, it was a false alarm. Apparently she is just trying to convince
him to support Joe in the general election; hopefully, he'll do a
benefit or two for the Tories, and perhaps appear on stage with
Joe. Of course, this has the Grits shaking their boots. To counter,
they're working on Rene Simard, sex symbol of the training bra
set. The word is that Senator Keith Davy, et a/are grooming Rene
for an eventual cabinet post. Right now, the problem is to get him
to stand in the same place for more than 15 seconds. They plan to
cure this with some talcum powder, at least until they can induce
puberty.
CBC’s other laugh riot, and successor to “90 Minutes Live”, °
“Canada After Dark” is causing the top brass some concern. It
seems that Paul Soles still hasn’t been told that he isn’t doing “This
is the Law” anymore. This was discovered when Soles emptied two
trash cans on the studio floor and started rolling the garbage,
singing Ave Maria, therby violating an Ohio ordinance about
singing religious songs after 8:30 pm ona Thursday. No one would
have noticed if his guest hadn’t been John Diefenbaker.
I've just noticed something very peculiar: have you ever
noticed that that very cute couple that advertise furniture for a
certain litigious warehouse never advertise beds? Now far be it
from me to spoil someone else’s fun, however they have it, but I
- thought a bed-was more convenient, to say nothing of being more
comfortable. Besides, | had always assumed that “Scratch and
Dent” sales referred to the furniture.
“Man’s inhumanity to man can be shocking.”
“So’s your old man!”
“Take a valium.”
“Too true.”
There you have it, an example of the wisdom of the east.
These are, of course, the kind of responses people get to their
letters to the Edmonton Sun, Why, with sage words like that, who
needs to buy Hugh Prather’s books, or read the Prophet?
By the way, I'd like to take this opportunity to scotch all those
rumors about 13 year old-disco queens being bribed with lemon
drops. Famed disc jock and good guy Chubbie Chuckie Chandler
assures me that the only reason he buys 10 Ib. bags of them is to
maintain his usual shape.
So much for the mill this week, next time I hope to be able to
come up with some grist from the set of the city’s latest motion
picture “Lolita meets Ralf the Wonderdog”...

COTIAC
plans
rally
A rally to protest govern-
ment cutbacks in the funding of
post-secondary institutions has
been scheduled for November I.
The rally, organized by the
Committee Opposing Tuition
Increases and Cutbacks
(COTIAC), will be held in. the
Arts Quad at 12:30 pm and will
include speeches from fepresen-
tatives of COTIAC and other
interested organizations.
COTIAC considers this to
be its most crucial event of the
year, and is hoping for a large
student turnout.
The previous day will
witness another cutbacks-related
event when SU president Cheryl
Hume and Board of Governors
Chairman John Schlosser square
off to debate the issue
““Demonstrations Don’t
Work...?” The debate will take
place at 2:00 pm, October 31 in
SUB Theatre and promises to be,
at the very least, extremely in-
teresting.
FLQ
revisited
An NFB film about the usé
of the War Measures Act in
October 1970 was shown Mon-
day night as part of Operation
Freedom’s activities this week.
Operation Freedom is a
cross country show of support
for the Quebec groups
demonstrating against the
suspension of civil liberties
which the War Measures Act
involves.
The film outlines the history
of the separatist movement in
Quebec by showing scenes of
labor demonstrations and mass
action throughout the sixties.
The kidnapping of James
Cross and Pierre Laporte was
shown by use of the actual
newscasts at the time, thus
recreating the atmosphere of
apprehension in the country. The
reading of the manifesto of the
Front de Liberation du Quebec
on television as a concession to
the kidnappers was shown, and
the narrator commented that the
manifesto received a “surprising”
amount of support in Quebec.
Extensive interviews with
Trudeau were shown in which he
first declared his intentions to go
to any means necessary to quash
the revolutionary tendencies,
and later expressed his sorrow
over Laporte’s death.
The tilm concluded with the
capture of the FLQ members
involved and the reunion of
Cross with his family. It raised a
number of questions about the
infringement of civil liberties
caused by the imposition of the
War Measures Act. One jour-
nalist asked Trudeau, “Do we
want to live in a society in which
our rights are protected, or do we
want a society in which people
like you are kept safe?”

Reader comment
Strikers demands deserve support
By Norah Hutchinson—Shielids
Various newspapers throughout the country have
carried elaborate advertisements sponsored by the
National Citizens Coalition calling for the Federal
government to immediately legislate postal workers
ck to work. The Coalition portrays the postal
workers as a gang of greedy, strike-happy radicals who
are making outrageous and unbelievable demands.
The ads are part of a broader campaign to win public
support for “restraint” in government spending —~
restraint which is allegedly in the interests of the
average Canadian working person.
The Edmonton Sun ran a similar ad on Tuesday
October 10 sponsored by the Canada Post which
essentially poses the same view. They appeal to the
public with such statements as, “The Canadian
taxpayer shouldn't be asked to pay more.”
In another example Lloyd Hodgkinson, vice-
president of Maclean Hunter Ltd. told a September
conference of Canadian postal users, “Strikes in the
public services should be outlawed. The right to strike
should be withdrawn, not tomorrow but today ... We
are as mad as hell and we won't put up with it any more.
Those in the public sector must realize that the public
has had enough.”
His passionate appeal was greeted with loud
shouts and cheers from the 600 delegates representing
major mailers in Canada. The “public” that Hodgkin-
son is concerned about is his fellow Canadian
businessmen who are responsible for 85 percent of all
mail.
To understand this conflict and its implications,
one must know exactly what the postal workers are
fighting for.
In review of the workers demands, it is clear that
they are fighting simply for protection — from
inflation, from the effects of technological change in
the post office, and from unemployment and layoffs.
The postal workers demands are modest, not only in
regards to their wages, but to working conditions as
well.
The Citizens Coalition ad states that the union is
demanding $17,218 a year based on actual working
time of 12 hours per week. For a Sunday shift they say,
the workers would receive $264 for 2!4 hours work,
and because of the workers’ demand for a 30 hour
week, the post office would have to hire an additional
45,000 employees.
To call such allegations “a distortion” would be
too kind.
In reality, if the workers’ wage demands were met,
they would have an annua! income comparable to
other communication workers as defined by Statistics
Canada. The workers are asking for payment of wages
lost under wage controls and for a full cost of living
clause. The government's offer boils down to 5.9
percent over 18 months — an offer which would mean
a real wage cut given that inflation is running at 9.5%.
Management’s formal offer is 13.2%. However, this

figure includes percentage increases already granted to
the workers through the existing cost-of-living
arrangement.
It is true that the union is demanding triple time
for overtime on Sundays. The intent of this demand is
to discourage management from scheduling Sunday
shifts. So far the union has been unable to establish
Sunday as a day of rest — a demand that has been won
by the majority of workers in the manufacturing
sector.
The charge made by the Citizens Coalition that an
additional 45,000 workers would have to be hired to
compensate for the 30 hour work week is absurd. There
are 25,000 workers with a 40 hour work week. A 30
hour work week would require an additional 8,300
workers, all things being equal.
But things are not equal. Automation means that
fewer workers are required. Rather than laying off
workers, the week should be shortened to spread
available work around. The hiring of any additional
workers is rather positive given a 13% unemployment
rate. The Union’s demand for a 30 hour work week
provides a good example ofhow other unions can fight
unemployment.
No so long ago employers fought workers
demanding the 8 hour day with exactly the same
arguments being used against posta! workers today.
Although management has denied the charges, it
is clear that the automation plan is leading to a
reduction of the work force. According to a secret
Government report entitled “Business Plan Summary
1978-1982” there will be a 16 percent reduction among
mail processors and a 13% drop in counter workers.
Working conditions in the post office are
deteriorating rapidly. Since the last contract was
signed in 1975, more than 45,000 grievances have been
filed by union members.
Highly mechanized “mail processing plants” have
been established across the country, ignoring contract
tequirements that matters related to technological
change be negotiated with the union. The plants
function like factories in which the employees are
attached to machines and have their output tightly
monitored. Supervision is strict, to the point where the
Government has proposed establishing closed circuit
television cameras to pinpoint “problem areas”.
Management's goals are speed-up and reduction
of the workforce. But technological change should
benefit the workers, not create more difficulties. That’s
why the union is demanding the right to veto changes
that will lead to layoffs, speed-up or hazardous
working conditions. Here, the postal workers are
fighting a battle for the labor movement as a whole,
Other workers can only benefit from increased worker
control over their working conditions.
What interests do student have in this dispute?
Students haye a responsibility and a direct interest
in supporting aCtions in defense of the postal workers
and other people who are under attack from the
government's restraint program. The restraint cam-
paign is a fraud, which has also been used to justify the
recent waves of cutbacks in educational spending. The
postal workers fight against this campaign has
important implications for the efforts of students to
successfully resist the cutbacks. It is crucial that
students develop a strong understanding is in our
interests and why we should unite with them ina
common campaign against unjustified cutbacks in
government spending.
The restraint campaign is fraudulent because,
rather than being in the interests of the majority of
Canadians as is alleged, it is a direct attack on us. In the
name of restraint the wages of hundreds of thousands
of government employeees are falling behind the rate
of inflation: the wage cuts faced by government
workers are placing strong downward pressure on
wages in the private sector and resultant real wage cuts
there: the quality of education is deteriorating: funds
for essential social services like daycare, UIC, social
assistance programs etc. are being slashed.
But when it comes to direct hand-outs to
corporations, the catch .word is not “restraint” but
more along the lines of “zeal.” Two months after Prime
Minister Trudeau announced 2 billion dollars of cuts
in Government spending, Industry Minister Jack
Horner informs us that, not uncoincidentally, an
estimated 2 billion dollars will be spent over the next
period on “direct contributions to private sector
projects,” to “upgrade the private sector,” and
“stimulate private sector growth.”
The Government has targeted the postal workers
as the primary enegy to be crushed if their austerity
drive is to successfully roll forward.
A victory for the postal workers is crucial to give
workers, students, and other victimized layers of
society confidence to resist and fight this attack on our
standard of living and our quality of life. A defeat of
the postal workers would embolden the Government
even more in their brutal attacks.

Students’ Union serve in its tenth year
S.U. Art Gallery establishes itself
By Michaleen Marte
Photos by Shirley Glew
Beyond the partitions of the Colyer Exhibit are
bare walls and a room of unused space. The empty
place that was chosen for a talk over tea showed the
potential that the Students’ Union Art Gallery offers to
the public.
The afternoon discussion was with Joan Borsa,
the director of the Student’s Union Arts and Crafts
Program. Specifically, the conversation focused’on the
role of the art gallery — its past, present and future; the
nature of her position as director and her impressions
of a recent conference in Japan.
The gallery has existed since 1968, and has served
the university and general art community in various
ways. Previous to 1971 it featured significant ex-
hibitions, many which originated from the National
Gallery in Ottawa. In 1971 the gallery was closed asa
Students’ Union service for a period of time. It later
functioned as a facility open to any interested groups of
the visual, performing and cultural arts, for their
productions, exhibitions or social activities. Following
these two years, the decision was reached to divide the
large area into an arts and crafts studio, a music
listening section and an exhibition gallery. In 1974
director Janet Moore assumed the responsibility for
the increased activization of the gallery facility. Under
currently on display at
the SUB Art Gallery.
her direction the SU Art Gallery was re-introduced asa
legitimate gallery for visual-arts exhibitions.
Ms. Borsa has been in her position with the gallery
for the last 14 years. She applied for opportunity while
attending her second year ina Master of Art Education
program at the University of Alberta. Her professional *
background began as a Bachelor of Arts student at the
University of Saskatchewan, majoring in art. After a
year spent in Europe, she returned to Canada to
further her experience in art education. She completed
a graduate degree in Art Education at the University of
Alberta and taught in Alberta high schools. During the
summer Ms. Borsa worked as a fine-arts coordinator
for a prestigious fine-arts program in Ontario.
Overall, Ms. Borsa found the teaching of art a
valuable yet frustrating experience. In her view, the
school system places art at an unjustifiably low status
position within the curriculum. It is regarded as a
supplement to more “serious” academic subjects. The
art teacher ends up providing a leisure or recreational
outlet to students rather than establishing a vital part
of the educational program. Unsatisfied as a teacher
the executive position in the SU Arts and Crafts
program could better express her professional
qualifications.
In her stay here Ms. Borsa has seen the gallery
achieve a secure position in the visual arts community.
It is an official operation from September to April,
with 12 exhibitions during the period. The exhibitions
feature the works of local and western Canadian
artists. Every year 2-4 of the exhibitions present the
artistic environment of the university, by allowing Fine
Art undergraduates, graduates and faculty members to
shaw their works. An example of this is the upcoming
Art and Design Faculty Exhibition which open
October 27 to November 10. Currently, the gallery is
encouraging participation beyond the University of
Alberta in an exchange program of exhibitions with
other universities. Such a program would extend the
focus to a broader, provincial perspective.
Ms. Borsa does not work alone, but is assisted by the
Art Gallery Committee. They are a 12 member group
composed entirely of volunteer students and interested
individuals. All members dedicate their time to all staff
duties, which include the selection, organization and
attendance of all exhibitions.
Ms. Borsa states that the calibre of submissions to
the Committee for exhibit is improving. Many of the
artists who submit their work are those who would
exhibit in other major galleries in the city. As one of
two campus art galleries, the Students’ Union facility
has many advantages. Unlike the Ringhouse Gallery,
which offers an intimate but confined space in its old
rooms, the SU Galley has a greater floor and wall area
to accomodate larger, contemporary shows. Yet the
SU Gallery is still restricted in the artists they are able
to exhibit. Their storage and preparation space is
limited. Improper lighting and humidity are also
problems. Renovation of the facility by installing
incandescent lighting; reducing the amount of natural
light coming from the large south window; construc-
tion removable walls to break and alter space — are
possible solutions. Such changes would allow the
gallery to host a greater variety of exhibitions.
Undoubtedly the highlight of Ms. Borsa’s position
with the SU Gallery was her recent trip to the
International Craft Conference in Japan. She was one
of 100 Canadian delegates who were selected to
+.
‘al
Bos,
Joan Borsa, Director
participate in the event. The five-day session was |
staged in Kyoto, with the theme of craft in the
industrial society. An awareness was created of arts
and crafts activities on an international stature. It was
a rare opportunity to be able to appreciate the contrast
of North American and Japanese attitudes towards
craft — first hand. Ms. Borsa states that the North
American concept of craft is relatively liberal,
experimental and without set rules. Whereas in Japan,
craft is still defined very much be tradition and
restricted by older methods. The Japanese craftsman
must conform to disciplined demands of art while the
North American works within no definite guidelines.
Visiting Japan was a stimulating experience for
Ms. Borsa. She was impressed by a culture which
places such a high value on the aesthetic. A concern for
beautiful surroundings and the optimal use of space
effects all parts of the Japanese way of life. A well
ordered environment, absent of “visual clutter” is an
uncommon sight to the North American observer and
is especially appealing to the gallery curate.
t is evident by Joan Borsa’s optimism that the SU
Gallery will continue to play an important function in
the Edmonton art scene. Currently the gallery is
showing an MVA exhibition by Darrell Colyer until
October 24. This will be followed by the U of A Art and
Design Faculty Exhibition from - October 27 to
November 10; William Perehudoff’s _ paintings
November [5 to November 29 and just in time for the
gift-buying season, The Christmas Craft Exhibition
and Sale to be held Friday 11:00 — 5:00 and Saturdays
and Sundays | — 5. Considering the above schedule. it
is assured that the next meeting with Joan Borsa will
not be in empty room but rather in a full gallery.
“Judith” and all the little piggies
Judith
Aritha van Herk
Book review by F.J. Logan
A pig is a pig is a pig, of course, no question about
that, really, it’s just that Aritha van Herk’s blue ribbon
sows in her award-winning (fifty thousand dollars can’t
be wrong) first novel, Judith, are so piggy, so pig-like,
so piggish, so absolutely what they are, that we soon
grow faintly uneasy: “Here (in the barn) everything was
greater than reality ... and Judith insisted to herself
(that) they’re only pigs.” eet a
They’re not just pigs. Judith is kidding herself. If
Circe turned people into pigs, then Ms. van Herk goes
her one better and turns pigs into people: Marie
Antoinette, Lilith, Josephine, Daisy, Emily, and the
rest. Not human people, perhaps, but people. _
These pigs are all-important. They are Judith’s
pets, cronies, audience, jury. They get equal billing
with her. This was for me the best part of this fine and
original book: the pig’s-eye view of the world, the
Page 10. Friday, October 19, 1978.
fascinating and fantastically complex sensory system
by which van Herk’s quadrupedal heroines know
things, the journey in pigskin.
Judith, then, is the story of twelve marvelous
sows, told through them, and their relationship with
Judith, the bipedal heroine, and her relationships with
other bipeds, male and female. Ms. van Herk weaves
the distant past (Judith’s childhood, her deep love for
her father, her contémpt for Norman, a loutish swain),
the recent past (her years as secretary and boss’s
mistress, growing stale and “pear-shaped”), and the
present (her work on the farm, her relationship with a
good man). In the course of the story our author has
considerable fun with romantic fictional conventions:
the pig castration sequence, for example, which will
have the same effect on the male reader as it has on
Judith’s skittish lover, and, for another example, the
novel’s opener. How many Harlequin Romances in
recent memory begin with the words, “pig shit”? Not
many, would be my guess — in fact, few. And how
many Harlequin heroines stand off a whole bar full of
oafs single-handed? Etc. Our author’s sense of humor
is under strict control here in Judith, but it is there.
So the pigs are Judith’s past, a way back to her
father, a way around other and inferior men, and a way
to the superior man she eventually and ambivalently
turns to. And, of course, the van Herk pigs — woofing,
farrowing, breathing, steaming, excreting, munching,
snuffing — are pigs, admirable creatures in their own
right, as a number of van Herk bipeds are not. (One
thinks for example of the uncouth Hiram, a male
chauvinist human if there ever was one). As Ambrose
Bierce rightly observed a century ago, “When you calla
man a pig it is the man who gets angry, but it is the pig
who is insulted.”
On Judith’s farm, however, things are finally
right. Bipeds and quadrupeds complement each other,
the sexes complete each other, reality reigns, all ,
animals are equal and none are more equal than others
— four legs good, two legs good. Hooray!

ected by Franklin Schaffner
sreview by Dave Samuel
The Boys From Brazil is a film which gets the
ence’s adrenalin pumping but doesn’t leave it
hto think about when the theatre lights come on.
Certainly the acting is decent on the whole,
gh Laurence Olivier in his role as Lieberman, the
g Nazi hunter, has created more of a caricature
a character — the dialect and mannerisms are
peerated and distracting on occasion. Nevertheless,
actors like Bruno Ganz (the benign scientist) in
minor roles one cannot quibble about the acting.
The cinematography is also excellent throughout,
some of the jungle location scenes are remarkably
Ker in their own lush way.
I's the premise which dooms The Boys From
riland no amount of technical virtuosity or acting
Icould have saved the film. The plot is based upon
creation of numerous clones from a sample of der
e's skin. Lieberman becomes aware of the clones
e investigating a mysterious Nazi plot to kill
hingly unimportant civil servants. It turns out that
civil servants are being killed because they are
ogate fathers for the young Hitlers; they must die
proximately the same age as Hitler’s father so that
correct personality structure will develop in the
es.
The viewer is first expected to believe that a mad
iscientist working in isolation could have worked
the cloning technique. (If the Nazis had had half of

There is no doubt that Linda Ronstadt is a fine

but its supposed implications of the cloning are
too much to accept. You have to believe that all it takes
to make a fourth reich are children with Hitler’s genes
and middle-class Anglo-Saxon parents of the ap-
propriate age. :
_ Affilm like The Boys From Brazil obscures the fact
that the rise of fascism in Germany and elsewhere was
the result of concrete political and economic forces.
Instead it sees fascism in a purely mythological way as
the embodiment of Absolute Evil, like the Evilina film
like The Omen. A great demonic spellbinder comes
along, so the story goes, and the people are magnetized
by him, powerless to resist: a Hitler makes a fascist
state. This notion might be harmless enough if it were
held by a few isolated cretins, but when a film attracts
as large an audience as The Boys From Brazil then a
large segment of the public is being asked to buy a
severely distorted view of history and politics. It isn’t
only Schaffner who supports this mythology, but
people like Bergma~ Serpent’s Egg ) ind
Schlesinger ( Warathon Man).
Instead of honest films which would necessarily
implicate elements of business and the military in the
rise of Fascism we’re given drivel which leads us to
believe that its the result of some malevolent force
intrinsic to the human organism.
The Nazi’s leaders surviving in Brazil and
Paraguay must be well into their seventies and eighties
and more concerned with planning their next trip to
the bathroom than the rise of the Fourth Reich.
Meanwhile the contemporary, potent fascisti are alive
and well, running countries like Chile and Brazil, and
in positions of power much closer to home, but nobody
in Hollywood is interested in making movies about
them. ;

on new album
(from Simple Dreams) and most of the songs on the
new album appear to be without any meaning in
Ronstadt’s career.
Subsequently, the songs on Living In The U.S.A.
are probably the weakest and most meaningless of any
Ronstadt album. Most all of them are love songs, and
weak love songs at that. An obvious exception is Elvis
Costello’s “Alison”, which, when performed by
Costello, is a bitter and guilt-filled song of remorse;
Linda turns it into a well-done but soapy little tune.
Peter Asher has become a monster that Ronstadt
fans, (and Rolling Stone magazine) have created. The
immediacy of Linda’s voice is lost in the super-slick
arrangements, the “aphex aural exciter” (Whatever that
is), and the glossy final product of a song that emerges
from too many hours in the studio. Ronstadt is capable
of intense emotive manipulation, yet Asher’s strict
‘control of her vocal strengths limits the listener’s gut-
level response. In order for Linda to retain her mass
following, Asher has been forced to reduce her voice to
a mere nicety. -
Living In The U.S.A, is an emjoyable album at
times: Chuck Berrys * Living In The U.S.A.” is

on October 14. The University of
Alberta Judo Club sent. six
representatives to the competi-
tion: Gilbert Hachey, Matt
Connor, Seamus. Quigg, Larry
McCumsey, Cathy Olsen, and
Brenda Borzel. They.were com-
peting against representatives
from Ontario, Manitoba,
Saskatchewan, British Colum-
bia, Alberta, and Montana. The
competition was challenging and
all participants fought in the true
spirit of Judo.
The U of A Judo Club
brought back two winners; G.
Hackey came in second place in
the under 60 kg. division and M.
Connor placed first in the under

Got a problem? Is your

party? Maybe you disturbed the
peace just once too often? Well
don’t worry, there is help for
you!
Student Legal Services
(SLS), an organization of law
oe can give you free legal
advice if you are unable to afford
a lawyer and don’t qualify for
Legal Aid. Even if you are just
curious about your legal rights or
want some information about a
certain area of the law, they are
willing to help.
But SLS is not just for
students. It has three case project
offices in Edmonton to help fill
the needs of the community as a
whole. The Boyle Street and
West 10 offices deal largely with
pensioners, welfare cases and
low-income workers. The third
office which has recenly been
opened on Whyte Avenue
(10424-82 Ave.) will probably
best serve the interests of univer-
sity students.

Student Legal Services also
has five other projects. The
Family Information Project
deals with questions concerning
separation, _ divorce and
custody. Such controversial
issues as rape and matrimonial
property laws are the concern of
the Women’s: Rights Project.
Other undertakings of the SLS
included the Community Action,
Correctional Law, Legal Educa-

Between 120 and 150 law
students volunteer to assist with
the projects during the school
year. In the summer thirty-three
law students work full-time on
the projects. Their wages as well
as the general administrative
costs are paid by the Law

Although the students can
not act as lawyers, they do
operate as agents, and as such
they can assist at summary

Optimism, pride, hustle and
an overall increase in average
height is what it is all about,
along with putting more points
on the board than your op-
ponents. Coach Garry Smith of
the basektball Bears feels that we
should be seeing a lot more on all
counts of those qualities in his
basketball team this year.
Analyzing the list of players
comprising this years team,
Smith looked at each player
individually, concluding that
although the team has some
weaknesses, they are a vast
improvement over the squad
from last season.
Smith has kept 12 players
on the roster this season; of the
twelve, four are multi season

The Golden Bears football squad is but one item in
the Homecoming showcase this weekend, but undoubted-
ly they are the most important.
Approximately 36 members of the ‘golden grads’
class of 1928 will be on campus this weekend, for a series
of activities to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of
their collective graduation.
Coincidentally, the Bears (5-1 first place WIFL) meet
the U of C Dinosaurs (4-2, tied for second snot with UBC)
Saturday afternoon, 2 pm,
Varsity Stadium, for
the crucial game of the 1978 season for both clubs.
Calgary, last years WIFL champions, desperately
need a victory this weekend to keep their play-off hopes
alive. The Bears situation is not as critical, but a victory
will virtually assure them of a post season spot(providing
UBC fails not only to defeat U of A October 28, but to win
by more than 18 points).
UBC meets the dormant University of Manitoba
Bisons (0-7) on Saturday and unquestionably will emerge
the victors, sporting a 5-2 record.
The Bears have a couple of scores to settle this.
weekend. Initially, the Bears only loss of the year was at
the hands of the Dinosaurs (30 to-7). The Bears have since
won four consecutive games and feel that they are now
well equipped to deal with U of C.
Secondly, even though the Bears have a better record
and have defeated the two teams U of C has lost to, the
Dinosaurs remain one position higher in national
rankings. Indeed, UBC is ranked above both Calgary and
Alberta (UBC number four nationally, U of C number
five, U of A number six).
UBC gained its lofty position despite a recent scare.
Last week the WIFL was contemplating action against
UBC for using an ineligible player, defensive lineman
Nick Hebler, in their first game of the season.It seemed
almost a certainty that UBC would be forced to forfeit a
game, leaving the Bears and U of C secure atop WIFL
standings.
However,
Hebler’s scholastic
UBC convinced league officials that
records
(proving that he was
academiclly ineligible) were unavailable at the time of
their first league game (August 30), consequently, no
action was taken. For Bears’ coach Jim Donlevy it doesn’t
matter: “I don’t get involved in them (eligibility questions)
unless they involve us.”
Donlevy is too busy preparing for U of C to be
concerned about UBC right now. Dinosaurs quarterback
Darrell Moir will return to the lineup on Saturday and
according to reports from Calgary he has fully recovered
from:a knee injury incurred a month ago.
The Bears are going into this game as healthy as they
have been since mid-September. Only offensive guard
Rick Henschel, still bothered by a foot injury, may miss
the game.
Hopefully, as the focal point of a nostalgic weekend,
the Bears will re-enact some history of their own and
claim a play-off spot; something that they have failed to
do in the past six years.
The balance of
basket down through the key and
anyone else in his way, Rooney
has spent the last three seasons
with the Bears. Although he
missed a quarter of the league
season last year with injuries, he
was third highest point man in
the squad. One slight problem
however; he tends to lose his
patience with referees and oc-
casionally tells them more than
he should. Smith calls Rooney
the best forward in Canada West
and pcssibly the country —
possibly ‘'-Canadian material.
Wheu nvaithy, Brent Patter-
son, at guard combining with
Rooney at forward can be a
devastating twosome, but
Patterson, like Rooney, has had
problems. Last year it was his
achilles tendon. Smith lauded
praise after praise upon Patter-
son, calling him the best guard in
the league, noting he was a
league all star for two years, an
excellent complement to the
Bears fast break style of play—
exhibiting the ability to move the
ball upcourt quickly. “He’s an
excellent passer,has good mate
oeuvrability and is looked up to
for leadership by other members
of the team. He and Rooney are
two of the finest players I have
seen come from the University of
Alberta in a long time”.
The “aged” veteran of the
team is Colin Fennell, who, in his
fourth year on the team, has also
managed to remain a Med
student. An_ interesting
dichotomy here, perhaps sports
medicine. Colin is regarded as a
very versatile player who can go
both ways. He is courtwise, a
good leaper and ball handler but
has a tendency to get into foul
trouble with sloppy play under
the defensive boards. He is one of
the teams better rebounders, but
this is where he gets into foul
trouble.
The most improved vet is
Tim Ryan, who is now in his
second year with the Bears. Used
sparingly in league play, Ryan’s
field goal percentage was on par
with the remainder of the squad,
but lagged at the free throw line.
In a brief summation Smith said
that Ryan has gained con-
siderable self-confidence, which
should help his play tremendous-
ly. He gained some weight this
summer and hopefully he won’t
get beat around as much as last
season. His shooting and overall
play have improved, he’s a hard
worker and agressive and is
ready to play ball this year.
Bringing prior university
playing experience to the team
this year are Jim Bonin, Grant
Ashlee, Dave Reich and Jamie
Thomas. Bonin, a member of the
1976-77 varsity Bears who
played last season with Grande
Prairie College where he lead the
team and the league in scoring.
He was also named league
M.V.P. In his stint with the
Bears, Bonin was used sparingly
and didn’t see much action. That
should change radically this year
as coach Smith sees him as vastly
improved, a businesslike,
aggressive player, who should be
able to fill in the gap left by the
departure of Mark Jorgenson to
the University of Calgary.
Coming to us by way of the
University of Saskatchewan is
Grant Ashlee, who after taking
two years off is ready to give it
another shot. One of the biggest

forward. The Bears this year
will not carry a designated
center; players will be tested
either as forward or guard.
Ashlee has an _ unorthodox
shooting style—he has a tenden-
cy to fade away on shots, thus
leaving himself out of position
for possible rebounds, but there
aren’t many such chances when
he shoots. His height and stature
is a bonus for the Bears on the
rebounding boards, as the team
has been very weak in this
department over the past few
years.
Dave Reich (pronounced
Reesh) from North Surrey B.C.
spent a year at Simon Fraser
University before wending’ his
way East. Although a newcomer
to the Smith system of fast
breaks and outlet passes, Reich
fits into the system well. A good
ball handler and aggressive
player, he is fast and mobile; he
can shoot from just about
anywhere. Currently he is the
only Bear with any type of injury,
a pulled groin, but he should be
able to play in Lethbridge next
weekend.
Along with Ashlee, the
University of Saskatchewan
brings us Tom Groat, a two year
veteran from the Huskie
organization. Used sparingly in
both years with the Huskies,
Groat should see much more
action than in years past. His
most outstanding asset is his
good game sense, his ability to
move with or without the ball,
Needing improvement in ball
handling and shooting, this
season should present him that
opportunity.

articular to the most promising

Looking back on Badger’s

ems to be thatthis has been a
etter than average trade off,
ecause the hard work has paid
ffin his Il years of serious
raining. Because of his swim

ravel more extensively than

duced to come to Canada when

Olympians and coach Don
Packer, with hopes of making
the Commonwealth Games
team.
But Badger failed to make
the Commonwealth Games team
too, this time not for political
reasons, but swimming reasons.
His times just weren't fast
enough. “I’ve given up trying to
figure out why,” he says when
asked if it was because he wasn’t
ready either physically or men-
tally. “The last two years have
been a waste of time, | didn’t
achieve anything. Swimming has
been too social lately.”
He is finding swimming
with the Bears a challenge since
swimming on a team with more
swimmers his own age to push
him is a nice change. “Team
swimming helps psychologically
at meets. As individuals it’s
harder.” Badger has never found
it difficult to motivate himself in
his swimming; in his I! years of
competitive swimming he has
only stopped training for a long
period of time once, for three
months when he was worried
about his grades for university
entrance in Australia which he
says are more difficult than here.
He credits his success mainly to
the enjoyment of the sport, both
the training and the competition.
“Had I been a sprinter training
might have bored me.”
But Badger isn’t a sprinter
and the Bears are looking for him
to fill a weakness in the team.
Badger’s aims are to do well this
year both in his swimming and in
his school work which he agrees
is a priority and he does not plan
to retire from his swimming
career any sooner than the 1980
Olympics.
The Bears and Pandas both
are looking for great things from
Badger this year and specifically
this weekend with the Golden
Bear Relays as the season opener
which may well be the indicator
for the season.

Soccer secrets
by John Younie
Pssst. Wanna be let in on
one of the best kept secrets on
campus?
The U of A Golden Bear
soccer team is a very good soccer
team, and nobody knows it,
except you and me. How do I
know the secret is between just
the two of us? Well, all I have to
do is look at the stands during
the Bear’s home games, and see
that nobody is there.
What’s that? You say you
would like to see for yourself
how good they are? Well, it just
so happens, the Bears’ next two
games are at home. This Friday,
they play the UBC T’Birds and
next Tuesday, October 24, they
play against the tough U of A
Dinosaurs. Both games start at
five pm at Varsity Stadium.
Pardon me? Did you say
you don’t come out to watch,
because vou think soccer is -
uggh,dreadthe thought - boring?
No way, not the way the Bears
play. One Bear who 1s definitely
not boring is Graham Fishburne.
Graham has scored seven goals
in only four games. Other Bears
who aren’t boring to watch are
Bill McConkey - | goal and four
assists this season, and sweeper
Barry Joines, who initiates a lot
of the Bears offensive plays.
Keep this under your hat,
but pre-game entertainment for
Friday’s game is being provided
by the famed USC _ Trojan
marching band, and an aerial
show put on by the Canadian
Armiéd Forces Snowbirds. Half-
time entertainment is a mini-
game between Argentina’s
national squad, who recently
won the World Cup of soccer,
and the North American Soccer
League champions for the last
two seasons, the New York
Cosmos. If that won't bring you
out to the game, nothing will.

Lone Stars in Div. III as the

Did you know that the
Men’s IM department will rent

out their hockey equipment to
currently-registered students?
There is a reasonable charge, and
they need 10 days’ notice of one’s
intention to use the gear.
And this I’m sure you didn’t
know: a keen female hockey
enthusiast has asked to be
permitted to participate in a
men’s IM league, so she can get
into the rough stuff, but the
department administration feels,
rightly so, that this would
seriously inhibit her male op-
ponents’ desire for the physical
contact aspect of the game. I
sympathize for a moment, but
then I say: “Let her play” ... It’s
harder for girls to get into a good
game of hockey here than it is to
book a racquetball court.

Civil liberties on 8th anniversary
of War Measures Act
By Alison Thomson
By Katy LeRougetel
If you have ever expressed
criticism of the government,
joined a political organization to
change state laws or been a union
member, you run the risk of
being jailed for seven days
without charges being laid --and
staying in jail for a further three
months without bail or trial.
The War Measures Act
gives the police these powers of
arrest, and many other powers
besides. Suspending civil liber-
ties, it is supposed to be invoked
in times of national emergency in
order that the state may meet the
needs of the people. A cabinet
order invokes the Act.
The War Measures Act was
in effect for no less than 40% of
the time between World War |
and World War IlI..It was used
during the second World War to
place Japanese Canadians in
concentration camps and to
enforce conscription in Quebec
despite the fact that 80% of all
Quebecois had voted against
conscription.
October 16, 1970 marks the
Act’s most recent imposition. It’s
provisions were applied primari-
ly in Quebec. The federal govern-
ment claimed the need to quell
“apprehended insurrection.” The
phrase conjures up visions of
terrorist attacks and bombs, the
Front de la Liberation de Quebec
(FLQ) being the implied
perpetrator.
The centre of political ac-
tivity in’ Quebec at that time,
however, was not dominated by
FLQ members. They constituted
a component of and, sometimes,
a spark for broad political
activity on the part of all sectors
of society.
The FLQ had released a
manifesto listing a series of
general demands concerning
Quebec liberation. It also called
for the release of 23 political
prisoners in exchange for the
kidnapped Cross and Laporte.
On October 14 and 1S,
students and faculty at the
Universite de Quebec a Montreal
and University of Montreal
voted to strike in favor of the
manifesto. On October 14, the
Canadian National Trade Union
passed a motion supporting the
manifesto’s call for the release of
political prisoners.
In addition, Montreal was
in the process of 4% municipal
election. The Front d’Action
Politique (FRAP), a broad
coalition of working people, was
gaining a growing audience for
its program of municipal reform
and workers’ rights.
Against this backdrop, the
cabinet invoked the War
Measures Act. On the morning
of October 16th, police descend-
ed on homes in Quebec,
searching and arresting 150
people before dawn. Com-
mented one of those arrested,
ArtYoung, “In talking to cach
other it became clear that about
90% of the arrests took place
within the same IS minute
period between 5S am and 5:15
am. It was obviously a major
operation planned in advance,
with lists drawn up in advance.”
The arrested were kept in
jail without access, to lawyers,
newspapers or newscasts. The
questions they were asked, when
interrogated by police, concern-
ed their political belicfs not
knowledge of the kidnapping or
Page 16. Friday, October 19, 1978.
FLQ > actions, according — to
arrested later interviewed.
One hundred people were
still in jail on November 13,
despite ‘Trudeau’s assurances
that all were innocent and would
not be charged.
The federal army marched
into Quebec at that time and
patrolled the city streets. Those
universities which were not
already on strike, were closed by
the administrations. Despite
protests which pointed to the
obvious difficulties in carrying
out democratic discussions, the
municipal elections went ahead
on October 25th. Drapeau won
by well over 90%.
The War Measures Act
provisions were applied in other
parts of the country, too. In
British columbia, the Socreds
passed an order banning the
employment in state institutions
of anyone alleged to support the
aims of the FLQ.
The War Measures Act was
used to undermine democratic
rights like freedom of speech and
assembly. It was directed against
individuals and organizations
who clearly operated within the
confines of legality: such as trade
unions, university professors and
explicitly anti-terrorist, left-wing
groups like the Ligue Socialiste
Ouvriere. The hundreds of
arrestees released without
charges and the political nature
of the questioning they un-
derwent, points to a strategy of
police intimidation and harass-
ment. The FLQ was an excuse
not a cause.
In reaction to this, Quebec
trade union leaders issued’ a
statement saying: “The trade
union movement is deeply dis-
turbed by this suppression of
civil liberties which is a much
greater menace to democracy
than to terrorism. The two
governments know full well that
there are a great mnay more
social evils which need to be
corrected than there is anarchy
which needs to be suppressed.”
Public mobilizations against
police and army activity were
widespread.
Trudeau’s reply to the
“weak-kneed bleeding hearts”
who “don’t like the looks of an
army” was: “All [can say is go on
and bleed.”
At the moment, the War
Measures Act 1s far from the
forefront of public thought. It
has been eight years since the last
time it was invoked. However.

Trudeau has — stated
Quebec elects independence, he
will not hesitate to use it. In the
meantime, laws have beeen
passed and RCMP actions ex-
posed, which aim at eliminating
“subversive” activity.
“Subversion”, however,
lacks concrete definition. Ex-
Solicitor General Francis Fox
paraphrased the explanation of
subversive activities in the Of-
ficial Secrets Act, by stating on
October 28, 1977, that the
RCMP has a mandate “to
discover, monitor, discourage,
prevent and thwart the activities
of certain individuals or certain
groups in Canada and carry out
investigations about them when
there are reasonable or likely
grounds to believe that they are
carrying out or do intend to carry
out ... the use and encourage-
ment of the use of force or
violence or any other criminal
means, the provocation or the
exploitation of civil disturbances
in order to take part in any of the
above-mentioned activities.”
Courts have already ruled
that large-scale picketing during
a strike could fall within this
definition. Conceivably, then,
people gathered together for
discussions of governmental
policy could be subversive, as
could publications taking a
position of dissent. Broad layers
of people, in fact, are implicated
in the sweeping definition of
“subversives.” The all-inclusive
description concerning — the
nature of police activities leaves
the field wide open. Many forms
of harrassment, violation of
privacy and _ anti-democratic
procedure could be included.
RCMP illegal opening of
“subversives’ ” mail, for exam-
ple, code-named Operation
Cathedral, has been going on for
over forty years. Wiretaps, under
Operation Cobra, continue to be
used and were legalized in June
1974 by the Protection of
Privacy Act ('). As Fox com-
mented: “It is very clear that
these operations — break-ins and
mail diversion and opening-
have been going on from almost
time immemorial withing the
force.”
The objects of these security
measures include Quebec
nationalists, unions, — native
groups, the NDP and socialist
organizations. For example, in
1972, the offices of Agence de

Some straight talk from Julius Schmid
of the most prevalent venereal diseases in Canada
The purpose of this advertisement is to educate
‘ you about venereal diseases. If you think this
subject is no concern of yours, we'd like to point out
that VD. has reached epidemic proportions
in Canada. It cuts across all age, income, social and
educational groups. A conservative estimate is:
that between 500,000 and 1 million Canadians suffer
from VD.
What we're going to do in this advertisement is to
tell you in plain, simple language about three
GONORRHEA
This particular disease has become
rampant due to possible changing social
and sexual attitudes. Despite the most
advanced treatment methods medical
science has been unable to check the
spread of this condition.
STAGE |
Symptoms generally appear from two
to six days after exposure to the bac-
terium Neisseria gonorrhoea, however,
upto 20 percent of men and as high
as 80 percent of women show no symp-
toms at all. In the male, the usual signs
are pain when urinating and a discharge
of pus from the penis.Women are likely
toexperience burning during urination, a
yellowish vaginal discharge, abnormal
menstrual bleeding, and swelling or
abscess of the Bartholin’s glands at the
mouth of the vagina. (Symptoms of oral
and anal infection may include, in the
throat, a burning sensation, and, in the
rectum, burning and itching, persistent
urgeto defecate, and a bloody discharge).
STAGE II
If allowed to progress untreated,
gonorrhea can produce severe
inflammation of the pelvic organs;
blockage of the Fallopian tubes
and sperm ducts and thus sterility;
gonorrheal rheumatism or arthritis;
inflammation of the heart valves;
even blindness, particularly in new-
born babies.
Up until a few years ago, penicillin was
the standard treatment method, but
today, several penicillin-resistant strains
ofthe disease have appeared and
other, stronger drugs —tetracycline,
Spectinomysin, ampicillin, amoxicillin—
must Sometimes be used. Cases in which °
pelvic inflammatory disease has devel-
oped may also require hospitalization.

SYPHILIS
First of all let’s make one thing
clear: you can't pick up syphilis
from lavatory seats or public drink-
ing fountains. Syphilis is transmitted
only through sexual intercourse.
STAGE I
About three weeks after sexual
relations, a lesion called a chancre
(pronounced “shanker’) develops
at the site—usually the genitals or
mouth-and nearby lymph nodes
become enlarged. The chancre
itself disappears within four to six
weeks.
STAGE II
If syphilis is left untreated, more
lymph nodes eventually become
enlarged and a spotty red rash
appears over most of the body.
During this stage, fever, weight
loss, general weakness, loss of
appetite and headaches are
typical. After several months, the
rash subsides and syphilis enters
a latent period lasting months
or even years.
STAGE II]
Blindness, insanity, impotence,
heart disease.
Children born to syphilitic
mothers are also infected. The
earliest sign is sniffing, after which
sores appear on the skin and the
mucous membranes, and the
disease starts to progress as in adults.
If caught early enough, syphilis
can be easily treated with penicillin.
Other antibiotics such as tetra-
cycline, erythromycin, or chloram-
phenicol are also used.
today. What the symptoms are, the various
stages of the diseases and most important of all,
what you can do to prevent infection.
Now, if in the course of reading this advertise-
ment, you suspect you might have some of the
symptoms described, consult your physician
immediately. The treatment is confidential and if
caught early enough the disease can be easily
treated.
[SPA PIN SS EES PAE AAAS SEERA AEE NN SEES SDNY NALS MT TSE
GENITAL HERPES
Se
This sexually transmitted disease was
almost unknown until the late sixties. About
95 percent of all cases are due to infection
with herpes simplex virus Il, a virus affecting
only the genital areas; while another 5 per-
cent result from infection of the genital area
with herpes simplex |, the cold-sore virus.
STAGE |
In women, tiny, painful blisters resembling
oral cold sores appear on the labia, cervix
or anus. Symptoms in men include similar
lesions on the penis or anus, accompanied by
burning urination and watery penile discharge.
Fever is a possibility in both sexes.
Within a day or so the blisters break, then
form round, grey-white patches which
generally heal spontaneously within two weeks.
This may be the end of the problem, or genital
herpes may reappear periodically as cold
sores often do.
STAGE II
A possible serious complication:
recent studies suggest that herpes II
may play a role in the development
of cervical cancer. The virus is reported
to be present in 36 percent of cervical
cancer patients, and parts of the herpes
II virus have been extracted from cervi-
cal cancer cells. Because of this, women
who've been infected should be especially
careful to have regular Pap tests.
No totally effective cure for herpes exists.
While some gynecologists paint the infected
area with gentian violet, others maintain this
treatment doesn't work. However, a prom-
ising new antiherpes drug, adenine arabinoside
(Ara-A) is being tested and may soon be
approved for general use.
AND HOW TO
PREVENT
CONTRACTING
THEM.
There are only two methods of avoiding
the risk of contracting V.D.
1. Refrain from sexual relations.
2. Use a prophylactic during intercourse.
Use of the prophylactic is the only method
officially recognized and accepted as
an aid in the prevention of transmission of
venereal disease. Besides being a disease
preventative, prophylactics are one of the
oldest and more effective means of birth
control known and the most popular form
used by males. :
And we'd like to introduce you to six of the
best brands of prophylactics that money
can buy. They're all made by Julius Schmid.
They're all electronically tested to assure

The RCMP. has also
collaborated with racists. Robert
Toope joined the Western Guard
in 1975, under the direct RCMP
supervision. He initiated or
cooperated in over 100 illegal
actions in which swastikas and
racist slogans were painted on
homes, churches, and syn-
agogues, belonging to Jews,
Blacks and socialists.
Not content with infiltrating
the right-wing, Surete Quebec, a
provincial police today, con-
tacted a dozen United Aircraft
strikers and invited them to
become informers in February
1974. Jerome Choquette, Justice
Minister,. told the National
Assembly that this is “common”
in labour conflicts.
Feeling complacent
because, as a student, you have
never belonged to anything
radical or subversive? In
November 1977, the defense
minister revealed that the army
and RCMP. installed hidden
microphones in students meeting
rooms in Toronto, Ottawa,
Montreal and elsewhere.
Groups in Quebec and
English Canada are responding
to these measures. Stemming
from a conference of delegates
from unions, citizens’ groups,
student associations and others,
Operation Liberte (Operation
Freedom) was formed in May of
this year. It is organizing against
violations of human rights.
